Introduction to the LaterLife Retirement Planning & Finance web site

About this web site and about LaterLife

This web site is part of the LaterLife group of web
sites which are all aimed at different aspects of preparing for and making the
most of retirement.

At LaterLife we specialise in retirement. We first
started operation in 1999 and since then have become the leading provider of
Open Planning Retirement Workshops in the UK, running them at 40 different
locations in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as running
in-house workshops for many large Private and Public Sector organisations. The
workshops cover all the lifestyle aspects of retirement and the related
financial aspects.

A new fresh approach to providing financial
information

Retirement is a time of opportunity and choice.
These days when we retire we are generally much fitter than our parents were
when they retired and we have perhaps 20-25 years of good active life ahead of
us. If we plan for it, we can ensure we are in a position to make the most of it
and realise our hopes and ambitions and make it the best time of our lives.

So our aim is to provide a web site that provides
the information and services needed for retirement planning at every stage of
life and then supports us as we enter retirement and start making the most of it.

In our early years this is inevitably mainly financial planning, but even
then we need to do it in the context of what lifestyle we want in retirement. Our
Retirement Planning section sets the basics and our timelines section covers
time periods from 20 onwards and identifies the things we need to consider, both
financial and lifestyle, at each stage.

As we near retirement our focus changes to planning
our lifestyle in retirement in more detail and implementing our financial plans,
such as turning our pension fund/s into an income for life. The web site covers all
those aspects in depth too.

The web site is first and foremost an information
web site and aims first to educate and then to provide a means of executing your
plans or finding advice. The financial material on the web site has been produced in
conjunction with the best qualified financial planners in today’s highly
regulated financial environment, who share our ethos of focusing on the
individual and their lifestyle aspirations. However, please note it provides
information and checklists to help you plan, it does not provide advice.

Individuals and Organisations

This web site is intended for us as individuals. In
particular the ‘near retirement’ aspects have been designed both as supporting
information for those people who have attended our workshops but also for people
who haven’t yet been . The retirement planning information and timelines are
aimed at supporting you at any time in life from 20 onwards, whether or not you
are an early or late starter in your planning and whatever level of retirement
funds you have or hope to build up.

If you are reading this in your role within an
organisation then please visit our related web site

retirement education and planning.

Newsletters to keep you up to date

We hope you will sign up to our free quarterly
‘Retirement Planning’ email newsletters which aim to keep you up to date with
any new developments and articles that will help you in your planning. Once you
have retired, or when you are approaching retirement, you can sign up to our
newsletters on www.laterlife.com which are aimed at making the most of your
retirement lifestyle.

Financial Products and Services offered on the web
site

You’ll see a variety of adverts on the site which
are largely provided courtesy of Google but we do also offer products and
services via selected partners. Where this is the case these are identified but
you can also find out more in our advice section.

Feedback! Feedback!

Our aim is to make and maintain this site as the
best facility for planning and making the most of retirement on the web. We
therefore value your feedback enormously. If you think anything we’ve said isn’t
clear or could be better expressed, let us know. If you think we have missed
